Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 30, 2012

Lady, you don’t know how right you are!

In Alice’s point if view, there can ONLY be ONE Princess Fairyqueen. Her Halloween is ruined (“ruined” pronounced in the manner of Stewie Griffin after he noticed he and Brian are both going as Snoopy).

A Halloween ruined by getting off the starting blocks too late.

Don’t panic, Alice! There’s always room for another Princess Fairyqueen! —Lots of candy to go around, still (after all, one sees lots of ghosts and vampires and so forth, so why not multiple Princesses Fairyqueen?).

A death ray wand would come in handy right about now.

Every child’s heartache

Run For Your Life People!! SHE"S GONNA BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell hath no fury like a Princess Fairyqueen scorned… especially one like Alice. ;-)

Here, in cedar chopping country, people say “roont.”

just whip in some vampire teeth and you got it goin’ on girl.

Tomorrow I am going to our office Halloween party with a piece of paper with the word boo" on it pinned to my shirt. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Time to use the death ray in your wand Alice

Alice’s Halloween is RURNED. At a Halloween party, our ten-year-old granddaughter, K, ran into a girl with a hooded death costume that was identical to hers (sans K’s purple pants and neat black boots). “This is awkward,” g’daughter said. But she was philosophical about it.
